1 SAFETY DATA SHEET Kemresin Section 1 - Product and Company Identification Manufactured by: Kewaunee Scientific Corporation PO Box 1842 Statesville, NC West Front Street Statesville, NC Telephone: Emergency Telephone (Chemtrec): Date of Preparation: May 26th, 2015 Product Name: Product Class: Kemresin Products Epoxy Resin Section 2 - Hazards Identification Note: The handling and use of this product as purchased is not anticipated to result in exposures to hazardous ingredients as it is a completely cured and solid material. However, drilling and cutting of this product may result in the release of crystalline silica. GHS Classification: Carcinogenicity Category 2 Symbols: Page 1 of 6

2 Signal Word: Warning Hazard Statements: Dust released during drilling and cutting suspected of causing cancer May cause respiratory irritation Precautionary Statements: Use wet sanding or drilling/cutting techniques if possible Use adequate local ventilation if drilling or cutting Use appropriate respiratory protection with a particulate filter if drilling or cutting Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients CAS # Component Percent Epoxy Resin 20-30% Crystalline Silica 60-80% Pigments, catalysts, additives (see below): Components will vary due to color, etc. and the exact ratios are proprietary 10-30% Phthalic Anhydride Trimellitic Anhydride Carbon Black Titanium Dioxide Section 4 - First Aid Measures Eyes: Flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes if irritation develops. If irritation continues, contact a physician. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air until symptoms clear. Contact a physician if irritation continues or worsens. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, contact a physician. Skin: Clean skin with soap and water. If irritation continues, contact a physician Page 2 of 6

3 Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures This product does not readily burn. However, thermal decomposition products such as carbon monoxide can be released if temperatures are high enough to support combustion. Extinguishing media: Water fog, dry chemical or foam. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use SCBA and appropriate personal protective equipment. Keep cool with water. Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures The finished product is a solid so no special leak or spill procedures are necessary. Dust generated from drilling and cutting should be collected and disposed of according to local regulations. Section 7 - Handling and Storage Handling procedures: No special handling procedures are necessary during normal handling of this product. Workers involved in cutting and drilling operations need to wash exposed skin before eating and after each shift. Exposed clothing should be removed or cleaned to avoid tracking dust into other areas. Personal protective equipment should be worn as described in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection section. Storage procedures: Keep away from extreme heat. Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protective Equipment Note: No hazardous exposure is expected during normal use of this product requiring no engineering or personal protective equipment. However, cutting and drilling may result in the release of crystalline silica. Crystalline Silica ( ) NIOSH TWA:.05 mg/m3 (as respirable dust) ACGIH TWA:.1 mg/m3 (as respirable dust) OSHA TWA:.1 mg/m3 (as respirable dust) Page 3 of 6

4 Engineering measures: Use appropriate local ventilation and/or suction to control dust when drilling or cutting. Wet methods can also be used. Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory Depending on exposure, use particulate respirator with at least an N95, R95 or P95 filter. Personal Protective Equipment: Hands Any general work glove can be used. Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes ANSI Z87 rated safety glasses or goggles should be worn. Personal Protective Equipment: Skin and Body Clothing should cover exposed skin to prevent excessive exposure. Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance: Solid material of varying color Odor: None Specific Gravity: 1.97 Vapor Pressure: NA Vapor Density: NA Boiling Point: NA Solubility: Insoluble ph: NA Melting Point: > 400 Fahrenheit Flash Point: NA Evaporation Rate: NA Upper/Lower Explosion Limits: NA Auto-ignition Temperature: Unknown Decomposition Temperature: Unknown Viscosity: NA Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity Reactivity: Stable Chemical Stability: Stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Other: Avoid extreme heat Avoid strong oxidizers Page 4 of 6

5 Section 11 - Toxicological Information Crystalline Silica ( ): Acute Toxicity: Ingestion, inhalation or eye contact can cause irritation. Mutagenicity: No mutagen data has been reported Carcinogenicity: IARC Group 1 carcinogen (respirable function) ACGIH A2 Suspected human carcinogen (respirable function) NIOSH Potential occupational carcinogen (respirable function) NTP Known carcinogen (respirable function) OSHA Select carcinogen Reproductive Toxicity: No reproductive data has been reported STOT (Single Exposure): Can cause respiratory irritation when overexposed STOT (Repeated Exposure): Can cause silicosis and lung cancer when overexposed Aspiration Hazard: Not expected to be an aspiration hazard Shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, non-specific chest illnesses and progressive impairment of pulmonary function are symptoms of silicosis. Smoking aggravates this disease. Section 12 - Ecological Information Toxicity: No data available. Not anticipated to be toxic Persistence and Degradability: No data available. Not anticipated to degrade in a harmful manner Bioaccumulative Potential: No data available. Not anticipated to have harmful potential Mobility in Soil: No data available. Not anticipated to have harmful potential Although not anticipated to be an environmental hazard, care should be taken to prevent dust from entering sewers and waterways. Section 13 - Disposal Information This material as purchased is a non-hazardous solid and should be disposed of in a sanitary landfill according to local regulations. Page 5 of 6
